Der Ruf nach verstärkter Regulierung der Kommunikation auf und der Aktivitäten von Plattformen wird in Wissenschaft und Praxis lauter, was angesichts der Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre erklärbar ist: Filterblasen und Echokammern, Algorithmen, kommunikative Fehlentwicklungen wie Hate-Speech und Fake-News. Dieser Band versammelt theoretische Analysen und neuere empirische Ergebnisse bezogen auf die gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen und ethischen Probleme der Kommunikation auf Plattformen. Dazu gehören mögliche "ideale" Plattformen aus ethischer Perspektive, die Datengebarung von digitalen Plattformen, Formen der Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation, Lokalkommunikation in Demokratien, Journalismus und vulnerable Zielgruppen auf Plattformen, Algorithmen gesteuerte Nachrichtenselektion auf Plattformen und problematische Social-Media-Kommunikationsformen. Die Zielgruppe des Bandes sind Kommunikationswissenschaftlerinnen und -wissenschaftler, Studierende und mit digitalen Plattformen in Berührung kommende interessierte Bürgerinnen und Bürger.Mit Beiträgen vonUlla Autenrieth | Johanna Burger | Susanna Endres | Luciano Floridi | Christian Fuchs | Christian Gürtler | Vanessa Kokoschka | Stefan Kosak | Larissa Krainer | Friedrich Krotz | Matthias Künzler | Michael Litschka | Tassilo Pellegrini | Marlis Prinzing | Lars Rademacher | Florian Saurwein | Ingrid Stapf | Katrin Wallner

This cutting-edge and authoritative Handbook covers a broad spectrum of social movement research methodologies, offering expert analysis and detailed accounts of the ways in which research can effectively be carried out on social movements and popular protests. Addressing practice-oriented questions, this Handbook engages with both theoretical and political dimensions, unpacking the multidimensional nature of social movement research for new and established scholars alike and for movement-based as well as academic researchers across many disciplines. Divided into three thematic sections, this stimulating Handbook dives deep into discussions relating to the methodological challenges raised by researching social movements, the technical questions of how such research is conducted, and then to more practical considerations about the uses and applications of movement research. Expert contributors and established researchers utilise real-world examples to explore the methodological challenges from a range of perspectives including classical, engaged, feminist, Black, Indigenous and global Southern viewpoints.

This book reports on cutting-edge research concerning social practices. Merging perspectives from various disciplines, including philosophy, biology, psychology and cognitive science, and economy, it discusses theoretical aspects of social behavior along with models to investigate them, and presenting key case studies as well. Further, it describes concepts related to habits, routines, and rituals and examines important features of human action, such as intentionality and choice, exploring the influence of specific social practices in different situations. Based on a workshop held on April 2022 at the World Congress on Universal Logic (UNILOG 22), in Crete, and including additional invited chapters, the book offers fresh insights into the fields of social practice and the cognitive, computational, and philosophical tools to understand them

Antiracism is a global and historical social movement of resistance and solidarity, yet there have been relatively few books focusing on it as a subject in its own right. After his earlier books on racist discourse, Teun A. van Dijk provides a theory of antiracism along with a history of discourse against slavery, racism and antisemitism. He first develops a multidisciplinary theory of antiracism, highlighting especially the role of discourse and cognition as forms of resistance and solidarity. He then covers the history of antiracist discourse, including antislavery and abolition discourse between the 16th and 19th century, antiracist discourse by white and black authors until the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter, and Jewish critical analysis of antisemitic ideas and discourse since the early 19th century. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how racism and antisemitism have been critically analysed and resisted in antislavery and antiracist discourse

Bobby Kennedy wasn t the most visible figure in the civil rights movement, but his impact was transformative. As attorney general, he protected the Freedom Riders and turned the Justice Department from an enemy of civil rights into an enforcer of antiracist policies. Patricia Sullivan gives Kennedy his rightful place as a force for racial justice
